Home theater

Hi All,Hoping to get some support here as Sonos support has been highly disappointing. I have had a Sonos Arc and Sub Gen3 for 7 months and recently added a pair of One SL’s to make the system a compplete 5.1.2. There were no issues initially until last week and quite recently I have started to experience the below symptoms: Sub Gen 3 and Surrounds completely pair out and produce no sound Produce Lag when a track is played All speakers show Online in the app (Arc+Sub+LS+RS)  and I dont see “?” Problem is consistent across platforms when it happens » Playing TV, Apple Airplay, Netflix, YoutubeI have a basic Wifi setup with dual band wifi and mesh that has been there for 6+ months. Initially, I tried rebooting each device which resolved the issue temporarily until it occured again. I then resetted the whole system from scratch starting with Arc, Sub and surrounds each. However, the problem didnt go away. I raised a case

I was wondering if anyone had a solution for a scratched top of a Sonos Playbase other than just living with it? Whether it be a cover, a special solution or even reaching out to Sonos to see if they’d sell a replacement shell. I’m less disappointed than I would have been when I first got it, but I haven’t quite progressed to just letting it go. Thanks in advance to anyone that answers. 

Hello, I’ve recently switched my TV to a LG OLED C1 77”.Coming to this from a samsung Q60 QLED on which Atmos and my Sonos home theater (Arc+Sub+2xOneSL) was working fine.After setting up the new TV to the wall I found out that atmos isn’t being passed to Arc even after enabling the different settings.Audio output: Pass Through (Also tried Auto) eArc support: Enabled (Also tried Dolby Digital +)Reproducing an Atmos enabled content from the Netflix native app, the Sonos app shows it’s playing Digital Plus 5.1 no matter what settings I try.Already tried plugging everything in and out and tried a few solutions from reddit such as turning eArc on, unplugging the arc and enabling when plugged back.Cause of the wall mount I can’t double check what HDMI port the Arc is plugged into but I’m pretty sure it was port 2 (even though all the ports on TV support 120hz and Earc) 

Hi There. I had some great support yesterday about setting up my LG C1 new TV with my Arc soundbar. Apple TV now plays Atmos content and my app shows that the Arc is receiving Dolby Atmos. So far so good.My problem now is that when trying to play a film, that I know has an Atmos soundtrack, from my Mac mini M1, using VLC ( tried various other programs also),  the soundtrack only comes through as Stereo PCM.I have set the TV for eArc support and Pass through. All help appreciated.Tony  

Current Sonos products in my living room listed below. Is this an optimal surround system system? From what I read, Sonos Ray is a step back in quality, so that is not an option. What components am I missing or is this a decent Sonos setup. Thanks for any expert guidance. Sonos Playbase Sonos Play 1 Sonos Play 1 Sonos Sub (Gen2)

The Sonos Ray sounds perfect for my system. My question is this. I don’t use my TV remote but rather the Apple TV (4K 64 GB) Remote!  Is this going to work if the Sonos Ray is plugged into my TV an LG 27 UN850?

Couldn’t find the answer to this but was wondering if I could use the Sonos Arc with the Beam as the rear speaker for a home theater setup. Considering they can both do Atmos...was thinking it could be a nice setup. Thoughts?

Hi - I have the Sonos amp connected to two 3rd party ceiling speakers and my TV. Would the Sonos subwoofer be able to pair to the amp? Or would the speakers need to be Sonos too?cheers, nick

If this is true, I’m not sure what I think about it. I guess there is a market for lower-priced sound bars, and I’m sure the “Fury” would sound great in a small room. The article also mentions that it can be used as a surround speaker in its vertical orientation. That would make for a REALLY tall surround speaker at over 21” tall.https://www.theverge.com/2022/4/21/23035569/sonos-new-soundbar-2022-s36-fury-specs-price-release-dateI was really hoping for a One or Three with an upward firing driver instead.What are your thoughts?

è possibile usare le Sonos symfonisk sia come surround inieme a ark e come coppia stereo per asoltare musica?

Brand New LG 77” OLED TV (OLED77G2PUA)Brand New SONOS ARC SoundbarBrand New SONOS SUB Gen 3My problem (and solution) -After Soundbar installation, streaming services (Netflix, HBO, Disney, etc.) worked fine with soundbar. When I switched to HDMI 1 (COX Box) and select a TV channel on my Cox box, the TV screen would show the channel for a few seconds, then screen would go black for a few seconds, and repeat over and over.After much troubleshooting, I found the solution was to upgrade to the newest COX Contour 2 TV Box. It is a free upgrade for ppl with older boxes (my Cox Box was over 4 years old).   

Can Rat be used as a Center channel with Sonos amp?

Hi allI have a LG CX connected to a Sonos ARC via eARC and HDMI 2.1 cable. I use the internal PLEX webos app to play back a variety of ripped media.Plex server is running latest verion on Windows 11. Ryzen 5950x, 32GB Ram and RTX3070 gfx card. Enough to handle just about anything.Sonos ARC doesn't supports DTS after update (convertes to PCM I believe)The LG CX doesn't support DTS at all but pretty sure was updated to support 8 channel PCM. It will support TRUE HD + ATMOS via HDMI from an external source (bluray player etc). Internal sources (apps) will not passthrough True HD.The TV HDMI sound output is set to passthrough (webos settings).Plex webos app on LG CX set to accept all sound formats except DCA/DTS.When playing media back via the Plex app TRUE HD is converted to Dolby Digital+ by the Plex server (confirmed by looking at Sonos app and plex dashboard).DTS (unsupported by TV) is converted is to AAC by the

Hi! I’m a music teacher with a Smart Board with wimpy speakers.  Can I connect to my Beam with S/PDIF?  3.5mm?  HDMI OUT (I don’t know if this port is ARC.). Thoughts or experience? Thanls!

I've just bought and set up a new sonos Arc, every time I try to turn the volume up it resets to 15%.I've been through all the settings, loudness is on night mode is off, I've checked volume limit, that's set to 100%, this happens on all sources, tv, music streaming, blu Ray player, I'm not sure what to do, is this a return item 😢  I hope not.Any help greatly appreciated I've submitted a diagnostic number 149572032

Hi, I have a Sonos Beam and two Play:1s connected to a Samsung TV in our living room. I also have a Sonos Connect connected to a turntable in the living room, and when I want to listen to that I’ll group it with the Sonos Beam so the music plays through that and the Play:1s.The problem is that when I then ungroup the Beam from the Connect to use the Beam with the TV again, my Samsung TV no longer recognises it. I usually end up have to unplug all of the HDMI inputs to the TV and plugging them back in again, starting with the Beam. This is a bit of a pain as the TV is on a wall bracket and it’s not easy to get at the HDMI sockets at the back of the TV.Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening, and if there’s a way to reconnect the TV and the Beam without unplugging everything? Turning them off and on again doesn't seem to work.Thanks!

I was getting Dolby digital plus 5.1 (as it was showing in the Sonos app) while watching Netflix and prime video contents when I put the digital audio out settings on my Hisense TV to RAW. Since today morning it’s showing just Dolby Digital 5.1 rather than Dolby digital plus. But I couldn’t feel any difference in the audio quality. But how to make sure if I am getting actually Dolby digital plus 5.1. By the way the product I own is beam gen2.

I know Sonos does not release any of it's future plans but I'm just wondering about future speakers.Does any suspect or think Sonos may offer Atmos enabled rear surround speakers. I see quite a few brands have Atmos sound bars plus Atmos Surrounds.I'm adding more Sonos speakers to my home but If rather just move my current Sonos One's that are currently surrounds to other locations in my home if there is any hope of new surrounds coming.  Do I want to play the waiting game or take chance and purchase new speakers now 

I have a oled Lg Tv and just hooked up a arc and two one SLs for surround. When watching a movie with Dolby atmos everything works great but with DD+ 5.1 sound only comes from the arc.  Below are pictures of how everything is currently set up. The arc is hook through hdmi arc port and is set to auto not pcm 

HiI just got my sonos arc.I connected it to my samsung UA55F6400 tv ARC HDMI connectorAlthough My TV supports Dolby 5.1.The SONOS app shows the output only as Stereo PCM.Why is that? 

So I recently bought a Samsung q800a neo qled 8k TV and has decent speakers as it is. If I buy the ceiling speakers and amp and connect to TV will I only get sound through the ceiling or will it be ceiling and TV? And will this be the same if I use Spotify on the sonos app? 

I've got a Playbar connected to my TV paired with 2 Play 1s as surround (no sub) My PC used to be connected to a half decent Sony surround amp via toslink with 5.0 speakers. Only I wasn't using it - I was using headphones through a USB DAC 99% of the time. I've also got 2x Play 1s in my study for music.I think I still want my PC to have speakers, so I'm thinking.…I've got my upgrade discount to use. I could replace the Playbar connected to the TV with a Beam gen 2. I can't see how I can justify (room size?) or really afford (wife) an Arc.I then use the playbar toslinked to my PC. It can also replace to 2 x play 1s, which are then spare.Any downsides?? How much of a downgrade / upgrade will a beam be compared to the playbar? That leaves me with some spares.... How steam proof are Play 1s??  I've got a "spare" play 5 that I use around the bathroom (not in) and I kind of think a pair of 1s on the floor in the bathroom might

Hi, I have a beam and 2 play 1’s as my TV setup connected to HDMI ARC. Been working fine for over a year and I haven’t changed any settings I have audio ouput set to follow content so depending on channel/show it will change from Stereo PCM to Dolby 2.0 and 5.1. However all of a sudden when changing channel or entering an app eg Netflix where the output is changing between one of these there is a sharp bleep noise lasting 1-2 seconds which is pretty unpleasant almost everytime you change channels. Any assistance? I don’t want to have to change audio settings to just pcm as kind of defeats the surround sound point! Thank you

Hi, I am currently using a sonos beam under the screen with two sonos one on each side of my couch and a sub beside my couch for my home theatre setup I am remodeling my home and would love to replace the beam with 2 in-wall speakers placed on each side of the screen and replace the two sonos one with two in-ceiling speakers placed on top of the couch and keep my sub near the screen. Can this be accomplished with only one sonos amp?
